Your Journey Into Endless Night Poem by Stephen Esric Loomes

Your Journey Into Endless Night

Everything is incomplete
Yet it's not all that you perceive
Everyone is changing daily
There is nothing you can leave
Others look as if they've stopped
Into a place of of rest and peace
You don't know what's in their minds
When they are lying in their beds
What they recall or they expect
The thoughts inside their heads
Things undone, chances lost
Memories of times long gone
Turn up each night, what a cost
Even as you speak you change
Into the future you, and so you must engage
Be alert, that simple acts, not done in spite
Will change the future over night
Leave you grieving for all time
Full of regret without respite
Then the chasm, at the end
When you, alone, despite a fight
Subsume into an endless night.
